1. A device comprising:
a processor to:
send an enlistment request to a network over a wireless connection, wherein the enlistment request includes an application identifier (ID) corresponding to an application to be enlisted;
receive a reply from the network in response to the enlistment request, wherein the reply includes a replacement User Equipment Route Selection Policy (URSP) rule;
receive a session request from the application to establish a session;
identify, in response to the session request and based on the replacement URSP rule, a network slice on the network;
establish the session between the application and the identified network slice on the network; and
restore a database, which is hosted on the device, that includes URSP rules to a state prior to sending the enlistment request to the network, wherein when the processor restores the database, the processor is to: remove the replacement URSP rule from the database; and insert, in the database, a prior URSP rule, if any, that was overwritten by the replacement URSP rule after the processor received the reply from the network.
